Sprint LTE 8 GB (SM-T217S)     See other variants reviews Score: 66.5 / 100

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 is a high quality device released back in the year 2013, provisioned with a good size 7 inches touch-screen, an exceptional 1700 megahertz Dual-Core processor, and two cameras, a 3 megapixels back facing camera and a 1.3 MP front-facing camera. Let's take a better look at what this tablet offers to us.

This tablet doesn't feel very lightweight for a tablet of this size, with a weight of 10.9 ounces. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 is quite a compact tablet, taking into account that it has a 7" display and it's just 7.4 inches long. This device has an inspired design, with a thickness of just 0.39 inches.

Samsung decided to build the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 using a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 MSM8930AB chip, holding a very powerful Dual-Core processing unit clocking at 1.7 gigahertz with a huge 1,5 GB of RAM memory. To help with graphic intensive applications, it also has a 450 MHz Adreno 305 GPU. A good point of this tablet is its quite big 16 GB internal storage memory and an SD memory card expansion slot, allowing you to store hundreds of games and apps without worrying about space.

The Tab 3 7.0 has a interesting 7" display with a 600 x 1024 resolution, which makes everything look quite vivid. This display uses TFT capacitive technology, and is multi-touch enabled.

This tablet provides wifi capability (and it can share it with other devices acting as a modem), LTE 4G high speed internet connection and also HSPA+ internet connection, that is a lower speed 4G variation and the fastest 3G data connection, using HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This tablet uses a SIM card to connect to GSM networks and it can connect to both CDMA and GSM carriers.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 is equipped with two cameras, a 3 mega-pixels back side camera and a 1.3 MP front facing camera.

This tablet comes with an awesome 4000 mAh Li-Ion battery that can keep this tablet device running for many hours and even reach the end of the day without having to charge it at all.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 also includes some useful features as Infrared Blaster, Bluetooth and GPS, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

This device is priced about $ 220, which is rather expensive for comparing with other similar portable tablets. No matter whether you are looking for a work device, will use it for gaming, want this tablet to take tons of photos or will use it as a social tablet, you will definitely be very pleased with this tablet device.
